New engine, revamped design, and new components: a new chapter in the V7 legend is written

THE NEW MOTO GUZZI V7: AN EVOLUTION THAT RESPECTS TRADITION

Over 90 years as Europe's oldest continuously operating motorcycle manufacturer makes Moto Guzzi's V7 lineup the most unique among today's modern retro motorcycles. With an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, unrivaled old school style, and technological progress, every V7 is dashing to the eye and thrilling to the heart.

Today the success of Moto Guzzi is further enriched by renewing the flagship V7 product range; keeping constant the authentic elements and values that have characterized the brand so far:

"¢ Craftsmanship"¢ Italian spirit"¢ Legendary heritage"¢ Originality

The 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 is a completely new bike leading with a more powerful, faster, smoother 90Â° V-twin engine. Yet, it is still driven by the cardan shaft drive and supported by the double cradle "Tonti" frame cornerstones of the V7 tradition, a tradition that stays true to the characteristics of the Moto Guzzi tradition, that touring on a motorcycle at its most pure should be nothing but enjoyable.

The design aesthetic accentuates the fine Italian craftsmanship of a vehicle that can only be made 100% in Italy. These are the distinctive elements of a V7 tradition which was born in 1967 with the creation of the Moto Guzzi V7 700. And in this tradition we welcome the 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Range, three different versions and a wide range of available accessories that meet the various needs of all riders.

This is the closest to the original 1969 V7 Special, not only because it shares its name with the first V7 signed by Lino Tonti, but because it faithfully cites the same riding philosophy - that of a touring bike with a sophisticated fit and finish and uniquely "Guzzi" engine character. The new engine, significantly stronger in driving torque and especially in maximum power, which is increased by 12%, is perfectly suited for medium range touring and contributes to low fuel consumption and greater tank capacity with 5.8 gallons for an average range of 310 miles.

Just like its predecessor, it is wrapped in a two-tone paint scheme and equipped with aluminum spoked wheels reducing unsprung weight and improving handling. The V7 Special proves a worthy touring machine with bags and windshield, accessories which go well with the overall design of the V7 Special. The V7 Special is available in White/Red Metallic and Yellow/Black Metallic. MSRP is $8,990 and will be available in quarter 1 of 2013 at Moto Guzzi dealerships across the United States.
